"Kam Moh Lan"

The phrase itself "Kam Moh Lan" makes me smile. In Hokkien literally it means sucking hairy cock.
"Kam Moh Lan" is an Hokkien idiom emphasizing how tiresome and difficult the matter / work is.
It can used as an adjectives for something extreme too. Eg the shop owner is as arrogant as "kam moh lan". Or the weather is as hot as "kam moh lan".

When we work non-stop busy like a bee and tired like a shit. To make a joke out of it , we describe such situation as like sucking hairy cock. Imagine how suffocating and troublesome sucking cock which is full of thick hair. Meaning excessively tiresome and troublesome.

Just reminiscing one of my office's jokes while at home, namely as tired as "kam moh lan".
